Tunes for my ride.

Happy birthday to me a few weeks early. I went to Good Guys looking for a printer for my Dad and ended up buying a new Eclipse CD player for the Miata. My car had the original CD player in it, and let me tell you something, CD technology has come a long way in the last 12 years. Now I can play CDs and MP3s without anything skipping! When I hit the eject button the CD player actually ejects the disk, rather than me having to hit the button ten or twelve times to convince the CD player that there is indeed a disk in there that needs to come out. My new CD player even has a special security feature where I can "key" it to a specific CD. If someone rips off my player, they will need the "key" to get it to work when they power it up. I'm thinking something obscure would be good. KC and the Sunshine Band? The Village People's Christmas Album? The Muppet Show soundtrack?

Isn't she pretty?

New dance craze.

2003-06-24 9:49 a.m.

This weekend we went to a wedding on Saturday. Whatever you do, do not plan an out door wedding for June. I don't care how fond your memories of last June were, it was not lovely and warm. If you have an outdoor wedding in June I can gaurentee with utmost certainty that it will rain on you. And rain it did. Cats and dogs, buckets and buckets of rain. Luckily there was a barn like structure that we could sit in for the ceremony and watch it take place in a covered gazeebo. However, the audience was so far away from said gazeebo that we could not hear a single word of the ceremony. The upside to this is that I did not cry. The downside is that it's kind of boring sitting on cold wet plastic chairs when you can vaguely hear the words "love" "marriage" and "take you" vaguely wafting in the air. Did I mention the bride was in urgent care at 2:00am due to uncontrolled vomiting and stress? Poor thing. The food was good and the barn was nice, it was just chilly. I wasn't counting on this cold of weather. I had my pashmina wrapped around me twice to prevent frostbite. When it's that cold there are only two things you can do. That's right! Drink lots of wine and dance dance dance. We taught a ten year old boy how to slow dance with girls and taught and eight year old girl how to shake her groove thing. I even started a new dance craze. It's called the litter box! Put your hands in front of you with your fingers cupped together, then start digging in the air. This works really well if you also throw in the Roach from the movie Hairspray. Litter box! Roach! Litter box! Roach! Do it with me now.
